5. Set the following PortFast parameters for the profile configuration:
6. Set the following Error Disable parameters for the profile configuration:
7. Use the Spanning Tree Instance table to add indexes to the spanning tree topology.
8. Add up to 16 indexes and use the Priority setting to define the bridge priority used to determine
the root bridge. The lower the setting defined, the greater the likelihood of becoming the root
bridge in the spanning tree topology.
9. Use the Spanning Tree Instance VLANs table to add VLAN instance indexes (by numeric ID) and
VLANs to the spanning tree topology.
Select the OK button located to save the changes. Select Reset to revert to the last saved
configuration.
Routing Configuration
Profile Network Configuration
Routing is the process of selecting IP paths to strategically route network traffic. Set Destination IP
and Gateway addresses enabling the assignment of static IP addresses for requesting clients
without creating numerous host pools with manual bindings. This eliminates the need for a long
configuration file, and reduces the resource space required to maintain address pools.
To create a profile’s static routes:
1. Select Configuration > Profiles > Network.
2. Expand the Network menu to display its submenu options.
3. Select Routing.
Maximum Age Use the spinner control to set the maximum time (in seconds) to listen for the root
bridge. The root bridge is the spanning tree bridge with the smallest (lowest) bridge
ID. Each bridge has a unique ID and a configurable priority number, the bridge ID
contains both. The available range is from 6 - 40. The default setting is 20.
PortFast BPDU Filter Select Enable to invoke a BPDU filter for this portfast enabled port. Enabling the
BPDU filter feature ensures this port channel does not transmit or receive any BPDUs.
BPDUs are exchanged regularly and enable the access point to keep track of network
changes and to start and stop port forwarding as required. The default setting is
disabled.
PortFast BPDU Guard Select Enable to invoke a BPDU guard for the portfast enabled port. Enabling the
BPDU Guard feature means this port will shutdown on receiving a BPDU. Thus, no
BPDUs are processed. BPDUs are exchanged regularly and enable the access point to
keep track of network changes and to start and stop port forwarding as required. The
default setting is disabled.
Enable Recovery Select this option to enable a error disable timeout resulting from a BPDU guard. This
setting is disabled by default.
Recovery Interval Define the recovery interval used to enable disabled ports. The available range is
from 10 - 1,000,000 seconds with a default setting of 300.
